I plead the blood of Jesus over this family and want you to know that I am praying for you. In deepest sympathy. Levis/Neese & family

To parents, children and Family of Twala D. jones. I am so saddened by your loss. Twala was a beautiful person all around. She always greeted me with a hug and smile. She smiled greatly with her eyes and always had a hearty laugh. I taught her daughter 'Madison's class a couple of times a year and a half ago. I have known Twala for a very long time from church and the modeling industry, and she always remained the same. My condolence and prayers are with your Family. God bless the Family.

Although it's been years since I've seen Twala, I have never forgotten our singing days, traveling to Detroit with the rest of our group members, Tina and Gigi...what fun we had back then! She was indeed beautiful inside and out, and will be missed by all whose lives she touched.

May the memories she left you with be of great comfort, now and forever. God bless you all!

To The Family of Twala Dawn Jones, it's been quite some time since I last saw Twala. She was at the Ohio State Fair just about to get on the roller coaster with her children. She was a beautiful person inside and out. We had numerous childhood memories. Twala and my sister and I shared many many fond memories, from walking in the rain to Clifton swimming pool singing rain rain go away come again another day to her mom driving us to art classes. We loved her and will miss her. However, memories live on forever. Rest in Peace Twala!!!!
